I have a client who gave me 6 channels of audio for a 5.1 Project.
I followed this previous posts steps below:

Yes, you have to point them to specific speakers before I render. First you need to set up your Vegas project so that it’s a 5.1 Surround project.
To set up a 5.1 Surround project in Vegas 5:
1. Press Alt+Enter or select File > Properties
2. Click on the Audio tab
3. Set the Master bus mode: to 5.1 Surround
4. Press OK
Load your DV footage and mute the audio track (you will need it for a reference). Load each of the 6 wave files and use the Surround Panner to pan them hard to their respective speakers. For the LFE track, double click on the surround panner in the track header and it will bring up the large surround panner. Click the LFE button in the upper right corner of this window to assign that track just to the LFE. The small surround panel will just say LFE at this point.
When you render you must do it in two steps:
Step 1: Use the MainConcept MPEG-2 (*.mpg) type with the DVD Architect NTSC video stream template to render the video as MPEG2 without audio
Step 2: Use the Dolby Digital AC-3 (*.ac3) type with the 5.1 Surround template.

Now I'm using DVD Workshop not Architect to make my DVD. I rendered all 6 channels of audio doing step #2 and after I burn my DVD in DVDWS the file is still only a 2 channel Dolby Digital it is NOT 5.1 Dolby Digital???
I rendered it out as AC-3 with the 5.1 template and it still doesn't work????
Did I not select all six channels when I rendered it? With that template it is still coming out stereo and not 5.1? I don't get it?????
